'Klae NieRaolRs Campaign.

Referring to Gen. Nichols proposed can
vass of the State the N. Q. States says:
We are pleased to see this step on the part
of our Reform friends. 1t is, as far as it goes,
in accordance with old-fashioned politics and
q recognition of the right of the people to see,
and hear, and speak with the candidates
claiming their support. The people would
like to know directly from Gov. Nichols the
specific charges he has to make against Dem
oeratie rule iu Louisiana since he retired from
Office, and specifically what reforms he and
his friends propose to give them it he shall be
again chosen Governor.
The Reform press has kept up a great ciat-
ter, but they have given the country not one
specific charge against Democratic rule from
1879 to 1887; nor have they outlined one sim
gle reform they propose to give us. Of course,
when Gen. Nichols gets on the hustings he
will make all this clear.
It is claimed for him that he is an able law
yer, an eminent statesman and a man open,
candid, honest and fearless in every sense of
the word. OF course such a mau will be ex-
plicit in talking to the people.
We are glad, therefore, We say that Gen.
Nichols is to make personal canvass of the
State But certainly his managers should
invite discussion and tender to Gov, McEnery
and the other gentlemen, Or their representa-
tiyes, whose names are mentioned in connec
tion with the Governorship, a division of time
SO that there may be thorough discussion OF
the issues that may be brought up and the
people hear and understand both sides.
The Reformers cannot fear such discussion
They have set themselves up as better Demo
Gratis. honester men and truer citizens than
their opponents, and if they are such, they
will certainly gladly seize this opportunity to
meet aud confront, on every stump in the
! State, any anti.Nicholls candidate or leader
who may have the pluck to meet Gen. Mich
oils and his orators. BY all means let us have
an ld-fashioned joint canvass of the State.
